Members of "Odweanoma" cultural group donates to Orphanage

Obomeng(ER), Aug. 20, GNA - Members of "Odweanoma" Cultural group, made up of Ghanaian youth and children based in Amsterdam, Holland on Wednesday presented items worth 100 Ghana cedis to the inmates of "Tomo-ni" Orphanage at Obomeng in Kwahu South District. The items which included a 21-inch colour television set, a DVD deck, toys, clothing, pens, biscuits and footballs, were to enhance their living standards.

Mr Kwabena Simpe, member of the group, presenting the items, said they decided to save part of their feeding fees to purchase the items after watching a documentary on the plight of the children after members of Kwahuman Association in Netherlands renovated some buildings in the orphanage.

He pledged their commitment to contribute towards running of the orphanage and urged the authorities to put the items to good use for the benefit of the inmates. Nana Kwadwo Afoani Tenkorang, Saanahene of Obomeng, receiving the items on behalf of the inmates, expressed appreciation to the group for the donation. He appealed to other Kwahu citizens in Europe to emulate their gesture.

Mr Benjamin Amankwah, Manager of the Orphanage, appealed to influential Kwahu citizens at home to assist the orphanage to undertake farming to produce food to feed the inmates. 20 Aug. 08
